My Story

A Journey of Purpose and Transformation

My journey begins at Samadana Counseling Centre, which was established in 2007. Back then, there were no counselors at the center. Despite that, I started going there every day at 5:30 P.M, collecting the door key from the neighbor, opening the center, arranging the chairs and ensuring the clients were seated comfortably by the time Dr CRC arrived, which was usually around 6:30 - 7.00.  At that point in time, my personal life was in chaos. I was feeling helpless, hopeless and was filled with fear. Being in the Counseling Centre from 5:30 to 8:30 every day is what I did diligently. Back then I was a novice trained in Prasanna Counseling Centre and did not know “true counseling” as such. I remember those awkward moments when doctor used to call and ask me "what have you written?!’ This regular practice of going and being in the center, and doing whatever I could in the best possible manner without any expectations gave me a purpose in life.

Slowly in the jigsaw puzzle of my life, missing pieces started popping up to complete the picture. I started getting clarity. Even though everything looked unrelated at times, I now understand everything has a reason which we might not understand at that particular moment. Today, I can comfortably say that I am not a Caterpillar anymore; I am a Butterfly. I am comfortable in the skin that I am in, and create my own happiness.

So what was the decision that got me out of me hopelessness, helplessness and fear?

“The route will emerge when I stay calm and do what best I can without expectations. Get out of self-pity and think beyond myself all the time. Being there for others to help myself.”

This understanding of how life can be beautiful despite its ugliness is what has brought me where I am today, and my hope for you, who is visiting this website, is that someday, you will join me in sharing this abundant happiness.
